I do like being able to scan paper copy to PDFs, though.

i often think we are using more paper now than ever.

Hard no.

At my first job, we had a midrange computer managing ordering, sales,
inventory, accounting and GL for a university bookstore We had
terminals for sales lookups and ordering, but most of the business ran
on the reams of greenbar 11x17 paper reports I printed out after store
closing and distributed to mailboxes for morning pickup.

I mentioned earlier that I'm involved in office moves and setups, my
team handles IT. We had half of a new office asking to not move the
printer, the office head, who's my age, insisted that we get the
printer set up ASAP.

First get the computer side working then get that printer up and printing. I can remember a time when the single printer we had at work failed and I was sent out to a local 'computer store' immediately with cash to get a new one. That day.
